They're not joking anymore, it's strictly based on merit now.

Merit?
I think something's going on. A colleague got denied his B visa because according to them he went on a 1week training on a B visa instead of M visa....this is someone that studied in the US on M visa and has been going to the US for training every 6months since 2014.

Please, I found an interview date for May, 20, 2019 but I am travelling to Japan on May 23, 2019. Please what I want to know is if my visa is approved, can I collect my passpprt back on or before the morning of May 23rd (my Japan flight is scheduled for 1:45pm)

If after your interview you are approved, tell them you'd rather keep your passport with you for your trip and submit it to them for the Visa stamping when you return from Japan.

AfonjaBoston:
It's either you cannot understand simple English or your problem is zero comprehension abilities.

The young man asked "what the worst scenario could be. . ." and my response was just one of those.

It was NOT a decision taken on his behalf and shoved down his esophagus.

Relax and see a doctor's before you die of somebody else's wahala

I wouldn't go down the low road with you on lack of comprehension.....
But the person asked what the worse case scenario would be "if they sent the letter". Worse case would be the Visa would be revoked. But they can still choose to have their child in whatever country they so please to.
I say again, it is not your place to to determine if their child would turn out great or not. You are slowly beginning to tow the line of that obnoxious fellow (don't remember it's moniker) that thinks it's all fun and games to be downright denigrating to others.

AfonjaBoston:
Born for naija the kid will be just as great

With all due respect, that's not your decision to make. Every parent/intending parent has a right to want the best for their kids, it's not your place to tell them what is or isn't best or if their kid would or wouldn't be great.

seyewest:
Maybe for Lagos not Abuja.

I see

TLS contact is the company in charge of document collection on behalf of UK Embassy/High Commission in Nigeria.

Doesn't VFS do it anymore?

What's the difference between NAMA, FAAN & NCAA.

NAMA: Nigerian Airspace Management Agency
FAAN: Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria
NCAA: Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority

In layman terms,
NAMA is in charge of managing the 'road' the aircrafts pass.
FAAN: manages Federal owned airports and it's facilities
NCAA: makes and enforces rules for every branch of aviation and people that work therein

PRAGMATISM:
I was just informed that permit/license has to be secured for flying drone in Nigeria either for private or commercial use. Is that true? and which of the agency is in charge

Yes it is true.
NCAA RPAS division

Lol @ Walter Garrison.

There's nothing too difficult implementing a parachute system within commercial airlines. All these excuses you hear are just what they are, excuses! And it all boils down to economy.

Now let me explain.
Every aircraft seat is already a flotation device in case of a crash into the sea. In the event of an emergency, oxygen masks automatically drop for passengers to use too. Now, to get this system to work, a parachute is installed at the bottom of the seat complete with altimeter, a beacon and barometer which automatically connect to a GPS satellite.

The plane has a cargo hold which can be modified to act as a slide ramp or escape chute.

When the emergency arises, the time passengers take to wear oxygen masks can also be used to strap on the extra shoulder harnesses that indirectly acts as seat belts. The floor is opened from within the craft to connect the cargo hold, and the external chute is opened. Each passenger slides into the hold and out the chute. The altimeter, barometer and beacon are automatically activated by the pilot from the cockpit before the evacuation.

The parachute deploys automatically at the right altitude based on GPS readings.

The passengers need not even know a thing about controlling it. They simply land safely, that's all that matters, then search and rescue home in on their beacons to locate them.

Even if they fall into the sea, the flotation devise still keeps them afloat until rescue comes.

This is just one scenario. I could give you more based on dedicated escape pods that can carry 10 persons apiece. The important thing isn't the cost, it is to save lives. The dead count no costs.

Also, the argument about height/altitude is nonsense. Aircrafts don't crash at 30,000 feet! They crash on the ground! Every aircraft must fall to a safe altitude for people to jump out before getting to the ground no matter how high it flies.

It is simple to offer it as an option, just like you do for first class and business class etc. Or A/C and Non A/C buses in road transport. Those who want can take such aircrafts, those who don't want can fly normal if they so desire.

Very salient points, however there are some grey areas that should be looked at.

Now, to get this system to work, a parachute is installed at the bottom of the seat complete with altimeter, a beacon and barometer which automatically connect to a GPS satellite.
Routine maintenance checks of the altimeter, locator beacon and barometer would increase running costs.

We are only assuming a horizontal and stable trajectory of the airplane. What happens when the aircraft is in a nosedive? How would the ramp work?
Airplanes are pressurized and the doors are made such that they cannot open in flight..... even if we decide to keep the cargo bay unpressurized the pressure differential between the cabin and cargo would hurt the passengers prior to the evacuation.

When the emergency arises, the time passengers take to wear oxygen masks can also be used to strap on the extra shoulder harnesses that indirectly acts as seat belts. The floor is opened from within the craft to connect the cargo hold, and the external chute is opened. Each passenger slides into the hold and out the chute. The altimeter, barometer and beacon are automatically activated by the pilot from the cockpit before the evacuation.
Except for a structural damage or midair collisions, the pilots do not just resign and wait for the aircraft to crash, so they don't start planning to evacuate immediately a problem presents itself without troubleshooting. So even a seemingly simple on paper evacuation still requires planning and briefing.
In your design, what happens to the cargo when the cargo hold opens up and turns to a ramp? We wouldn't want the cargo causing harm to people on the ground.

Even if they fall into the sea, the flotation devise still keeps them afloat until rescue comes.
Hopefully they don't land in subzero water and die of hypothermia


Also, the argument about height/altitude is nonsense. Aircrafts don't crash at 30,000 feet! They crash on the ground! Every aircraft must fall to a safe altitude for people to jump out before getting to the ground no matter how high it flies.
This is more complicated than you think.
Let's say a 777 carrying 350 passengers requires evacuation. How long do you think it would take to safely evacuate all passengers before the aircraft plummets to the ground? Cabin crews are trained to evacuate passengers in 3mins I think. And let's assume the aircraft is falling at 4000ft/min and falling to sea level 0ft. It means the evacuation needs to start above 12000ft. At that altitude, the passengers would still require oxygen so I guess they'd need to carry portable oxygen bottles too?

Harvest22:
Please house, me and my wife will be having our interview soon with our last daughter, we're actually thinking of the type of clothe to wear. My question now is between native and English wear which one is perfect is perfect for this interview? Please help us..... Thanks

Wear anything you are comfortable in as long as it's neat.

ApcSucks:
I didn't ask you to help me on anything..... I only asked question to know if my ties are okay to go ahead you either answer or keep shut... Than the bullshit you typed up there....

One week vacation?
Your flight ticket alone would cost you 1 and half months salary.
Accommodation and feeding would cost you another 75% of your one month salary
Visa application fee almost 20% of salary.

Evaluate yourself and stop throwing tantrums.

Explorers:
Yea, the first statement says 'Landing Procedure' with the 'Crew/Pilot' supervising the process and also check the limitations given in the description.


Autoland are usually used when runway visibility is less than 600meters away, according to the source(Pictured).


But is it possible to activate Autoland from 30,000ft, hundreds or thousands of miles away from the airport (@Thread topic)

My first response to yours, am talking about unmanned technology right from takeoff - landing.

600m runway visual range doesn't mean runway is 600m away.
Flight management system+Autopilot+Autothrottle would get your airplane from any altitude/distance down to the runway. However, the pilot needs to input the right commands to the system.

Mizwisdom:
I know a few churches that approve gay marriage but which church approves polygamy?

You do know that Christianity as it is is a borrowed culture that doesn't regard our own African culture, right? Polygamy isn't a crime in our culture, the fact that our borrowed culture of Christianity doesn't recognize it doesn't make it a crime.

The church of the old recognized polygamy...king Solomon et al, but can you point to anywhere in the Bible where gay marriage was recognized?
Leave the Bible sef, which do you think is more morally wrong?

Mizwisdom:
Christians shouldn't practice polygamy, the VO knows this

Christians aren't supposed to practice same sex marriage, but quite a number of states in the US do.

Women!! Even on a faceless forum you still manage to stir up trouble.

chloe00:
Please who is this one o just coming all over to say nonsense, isn’t there a more sensible manner for you to say whatever you want to say, nobody is your child here use your sense to respond that’s even if your responses are needed or read and keep quiet.

Lol.
You took the bait.

Reminds me of one airhead sometime ago on this thread that was speaking from both sides of it's mouth, always spoiling for a fight/rumble in the mud like a pig.
Ignore.

Zena1357:
old I need an answer urgently.. Thank you

I'm not sure what water a marriage certificate holds when going for a business trip. If it makes you feel any better, you can go with it.
But pertinent document to take along is a LOI from your company starting they are responsible for your trip and assurance that you'd be back to Nigeria afterwards.

edimalo:
Nice thread and some funny answers.

A small stuff that needs some advice on. Arrival airport on DS160 form filled as xxxxxx airport while arrival airport ( point of entry) on ticket shows *******. Any implications on this. Airline going through ****** is cheaper than xxxxxx that was filled as arrival airport.

Any implications please, will appreciate all responses.

Thanks

Do you already have a visa and asking about possible POE issues?

smokey12345:
pls sir may i know in what ways

Let your friend worry about himself.

hardeysholar:
Pls I need help house
My interview is dis week
Pls how do I take motor from ojota to US embassy location

From ojota take BRT going to CMS. Alight at cms and take another bus going to Barbeach/Eko hotel. Tell the conductor you are going to American embassy (before Bonny camp).

AfonjaBoston:
How in this world does someone "go visiting/tourism" for 5 whole months in another country? Does the person not have a job, family, home/pet/garden/lawn/grocery to maintain?

I wish I can stay pass 3-4 weeks in Nigeria/Europe/Asia when visiting. My body just starts to itch and I start to feel like am missing something.

How do people do it ? I need tips I beg I really do mbok

Grandma/nanny duties

Emmydann:
OJOCHIDE hmmmm.......and who said airpeace is an Igbo thing.....it looks more of igala

A simple and quick Google search would show you 'Ojochide' is his wife's name...and yea she's Kogi

temmyt20:
if ur interview is still more than 1wk to go....fill another form and update the confirmation number on ur profile

He didn't print 'the form' not the confirmation page....
Your suggestion would screw him up real good, unless you are kind enough to put him through the steps of updating his info with the embassy

Oyinu:
And this is what i'm talking about. Finally, someone with oil on his/her head speaks for the first time. Thumbs-up Sugah.
I already read in-between your lines, i draw inference already from your lines. Thanks.

What exactly did you infer from my comment?

Meanwhile, your gender/moniker changed to female....are you just a troll or trying to disguise yourself to the VOs?

Anyways, please don't fail to update us after your interview...who knows, maybe my neighbor that's in the same boat as you could learn a thing or two

Oyinu:
Relating these to VO go burst my bubbles nahh. make you search your portfolio wella for good options please

Thank God you know you've done something wrong.
But I'd say, IMHO, consider yourself a single father for now . Cos I know your wife wouldn't come back to join you here considering she's been 'chilling' for 15months without shaking.

Afonjaboston we go give you work for Boston bureau of Infestigashion (BBI)

See how the guy innocently and albeit mumuishly download all his info..

daudugod:
Please someone help me out, I just stumbled across this thread now, my family(family of 5), our US Visa expired yesterday(17th August, 2018) and we intend renewing, please what are the steps to this, is it still possible for us to receive an interview waiver(if yes) does that mean each of us has to fill the DS-160 form again and Schedule appointment, I would need a step by step on what to do thanks in anticipation

Yes you qualify for a Dropbox(waiver) for the same category of visa.
Yes each applicant would fill a separate DS160 form.
You would find a step by step application process on the embassy website.
